7 Reasons I Can't Wait To Go Home To Jersey

PSU is awesome, but some things in Jersey will forever have my heart.

Going home to the Jersey Shore after a long, dark, cold winter is the only thing keeping me going for these next two weeks. Penn State is lovely and I adore my university, but there are some things that the Jersey shore has to offer that Penn State just doesn't.

Here are just a few reasons I am longing for spring break in Jersey:

1. Pork Roll Egg and Cheese

I've said it once, I'll say it again: Pork roll is a gift from above. It is perfection and putting it with egg and cheese on a bagel with salt pepper ketchup is everything I've ever asked for. It's been so long since I've had the honor of eating one and I just cannot wait to be reunited with my everything.

2. The Beach

If there is anything I love more than Penn State Football, it has to be the beaches on the Jersey Shore. Even though the warm weather just started, I cannot help but itch for the summer and the feeling of sinking my feet into the beautiful warm Jersey sand.


3. My Best Friends

I love my friends at Penn State, but I cannot wait to be reunited with the people who loved me through all of my awkward stages. Sometimes, it sucks being away from the people who know what you're going to say before you do.

4. Playa Bowls

I cannot wait to go home and go to Playa Bowls. For anyone that doesn't have a location near them, Playa Bowls is a Jersey Shore chain that sells unique acai bowls. It's honestly something you have to experience to understand.


5. Pizza

Okay, there's obviously a running theme of food here. Anyway, if you've ever talked to someone from New Jersey, it probably took them less than 30 seconds to bring up how good the pizza is. Let's be real, we all know it's amazing.


6. WaWa

No one understands how much I want a WaWa iced coffee right now... or a quesadilla... or a mac and cheese bowl with chicken strips. Oh god, I miss WaWa.


7. My Boyfriend

After weeks away from my best friend, I finally get to see him again and I cannot wait. Whoever said long distance relationships were easy obviously lied. Having a whole week together is going to be so exciting and, honestly, I can't wait.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
